TO THE BITTER END
A postal card from n lawyer at Mont
retained by the Hon. Free Soil Chivington to
begin suit against the Lime Kiln club, lay
ing his damages at $4,000. Mr. Chiyington
spplied for membership a few weeks ago, and
was rejected on the ground that he still car
ried a load Of bird shot fired into him five
years ago by the owner of watermelon pate
near opelika. The plaintiff declares the
statement to be false, and will sue for the
smount named.
The secretary was instructed to reply Ia

GAINING INFORMATION,

Mr.. aud Mrs. W. c. McCune arrived yes-
terday from a visit of some months to Ohio
and among the northern lakes.
In speaking of the east yesterday Mr..
Mcclure stated that he was much better
pleased with Kansas end Wichita than he
was wher be left He had been given q
chance for comparison and by the cornpari.
son the state and city was decidedly in the
lead The So called drouth in Kansas he
claims is nothing when compared with the
drouth in some parts of Ohio. Iowa and Hi.
nois. At his old home in Clinton county. the
dry weather had arrested DEVELOPMENT in all
the fall and summer crops. The people seem
highly dissatisfied and mauyeare thinking OF
coming to Kansas
The great howl about busted Wichita" be
reports as taking rest, or rather is laid on
the shelf. The people seem to have come to
the conclusion that Wichita is going tc
boom all the same, caring very little abou,
their reports. The kansas drouth1 nova
days don't lock SO bad 10 them, especially
when they take a glance at their barren
fields.
Mr.. McCune reports many people booked
for Wichita this fall. He found the people
knowing more of Wichita than ever and
more anxious than ever TO learn of its won.
derfui growth and superior advantages.
They looked at things in very diaeren,
hgnt and were beginning to wonder if Kansas
am great state and Wichita great city.

Douglas and Topeka AYES.
2O4 NORTH MAIN ST.

A six months term of evening sessions will
begin at the Southwestern Business College
on Monday evening, October 3rd. The fol
lowing branches viii be thoroughly taught,
single and double EMERY bookkeeping in ali
their forms, business writing, type-writing
arithmetic, reading, spelling and shorthand.
Each student will be instructed privately at
his desk, thus avoiding all embarrassment.
This will be rare opportunity for young
men and women who are DESTROYS of extend
ing their knowledge, and being otherwise en-
gagged are unable to attend our day sessions.
We can point to large number of ladies
and gentlemen who attended our night ses-
sions last year and in less than six months
gained such knowledge of business that
they were enabled to resign their laborious
and penurious positions and accept easier and
more remunerative ones. No young person
with any ambition whatever, is willing to
hold the same situation all his life with nc
chance for advancement This night school
will be the very medium through which he
can elevate himself and prepare for some
thing financially better.
Tuition in advance-fuI term of
six months, when all is paid on entering, s25
per month in advance, So. Tuition will be
the same regardless OF the number of
branches pursued The school will be in
session from $50 to $50, on Monday, Tues
day, Thursday and Friday evenings of each
week.
